No doubt about the TV 102 being a good OTA especially with the exchange rates. Just to clarify one point Vixen has two manufactering streams of refractors. The 'f' series and the 's' series. The much larger 'f' series (close to a dozen models) are mass produced Chinese made refractors which are then rebadged and QC's under the Vixen label and are much cheaper.
Then there is the much smaller range of 's' series refractors - there are only four of them: 81S, 103S, 115S (doublets) and the AX103S (their only triplet or quad depending how you look at it). These refractors are intended as the contemporary replacements of their older Flourite models.
All of these 'S' series refractors are made in Japan with Japanese optics and come with 5 year warranty.
